What School Girls Eat.

The Association of Collegiate Alumn@
e Boston have issued o pamphlet full of
stsistics OF what school girls cat and do
not 1t in New York and Boston. Out Of
ninety girls who were questioned at one
q the p,,blic schools it was ascertained
lhat tWelt>had eaten no breakfast. Of
these tWeive,six had brought no lunch
con- the othes six had cake, pie and
pickles, or simlLr indigestible food. A
story is told OF for girls-an English, a
French, q German sld an American girl
who were taken to restaurant and in
vited to call for the foed that each would
like. The English gil ordered roasted
beef, the German girl sauer kraut and
brown bread, the French girl called for
pate de foie gras and the American girl
without hesitation ordered pink ice cream
and cake.-Chicago Times.

Women with Bad Figures.

Mrs. Jenness Miller, who is trying to
reform woman's dress, is very handsome
and perfect specimen of the healthful-
ness of the system she advocates. In con-
versation with a reporter the other day
she told some curious facts about the
physical deformity of her sex, caused by
the corset and other methods that the
Nineteenth century calls fashion. She
said:
81 was in Turkish bathroom not long
ago and noticed the physical appearance
of some forty or fifty fashionable women
young, middle aged and old. Out of
that number I did not see a perfect
shaped figure. Those who were young
doubtless inherited their physical de-
ficiencies, and were assisting to further
mar their unnatural proportions by wear
ing corsets. Men do not dream that such
malformation exists among the women,
but picture them from the Elusive idea
conveyed by seeing them dressed in the ex-
treme of fashion. Some of these women
had small waists, others had cramped,
pinched feet, and the majority We're
suffering from the torturing practice of
tight lacing. None of them moved
around with free and easy tread and
buoyant elasticity. They were slow and
sluggish in their movements and evil
IDENTIFY averse to any kind of exertion be-
yond the mere necessity of walking. I
was surprised, for / thought that some
women were SO strong and robust that
naturally they would escape the curse Of
fashions DEGREES. Reclining on couch
after the bath heard young lady next
to me exclaim in conversation to a third
lady that she would not marry Mr.. So
and-so because he was not robust. Then
in the next sentence she said she suffered
from asthma and was somewhat subject
to hysteria. / turned over and gazed at
the woman who didn' want to marry q
man because he was not apparently
strong. She was pale, thin and delicate
looking, the very woman a man would
not care to select for wife, unless he
wanted to start hospital at home. -

THE EFFECTS OF MENTAL ExHAUs-
TION.

Many diseases, especially those of the ner-
vous system, are the products of daily renewed
mental exhaustion. Business avocations often
involve an amount of mental wear and tear
very prejudicial to physical health. and the
professions, if arduousiy pursued, are no less
destructive to brain and nerve tissue. Tt is
one of the most important attributes of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, that it compsnsates
for this undue loss of tissue, and that it i'm
parts new energy to the brain and nerves.
The rapidity with which it renews weakened
mental energy and physical vitality is remark
able, and shows that its invigorating pro-
perties are of the highest order. Besides in
creasing vital stamina, aud coHnteracting the
effects of mental exhaustion, this potential
medicine cures and prevents fever and ague,
rheumatism, chronic dyspepsia and constipa-
tion, kidney and uterine weakness and other
complaints. Physicians also commend it as a
me1icated stimulant and remedy.

The Cyclone in Mechanics.

Erastus Wiman. of New York, has
purchased from Raymond Brothers, the
inventors, all the improvements upon the
pulverizer, some time ago investigated at
Montreal, and which, it is said, illustrates
an entirely new principle in mechanics,
growing out of the application Of the
natural principle developed in cyclone.
The results show that iron Stag can DO re-
duced to impalpable powder, and that
other refractory substances can be treated
with equal facility. Tests are at once to
be made with machines ready for the
purpose in various parts of the country
on ores, fertilizers and various other arti-
cles of commerce, which, if successful, it
is said, viii revolutionize the present
mode of grinding and pulverizing. A
test made with half barrel of nails
showed the iron ground into the finest
powder without the aid of tooth, stamp
or roller, and with nothing but air.

A Joke on Rernhnrdt.

Apropos Of the theatre, Nine. Bern
hardt was made the victim Of practical
joke on the night of her last performance
at the Star theatre. She is much addicted
to the practice known among actors as
s'guying, and philosophic enough to be
not averse to joke rpon herself if it is
funny In the second act of Theodore"
the empress visits the amphitheatre in
which she was once a star. In the vaults
where the performers and the wild boasts
are housed she renews old acquaintances,
especially with brutes. The audience sees
the lions cage, with the straw sticking
out between the bars, but the lion himself
is left to the imagination. On this oc-
casion when Bernhardt went up to the
cage to caress the phantom king of beasts
she almost shrieked with laughter. Nest
ling comfortably in the straw was apoodle
puppy, which blinked and whimpered at
her as she apostrophized it in heroic
strain The affair put her in such good
humor that the performance passed off
without q quarrel with any one-a rarity,
indeed, as performances with Nine. Bern
